toaster Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 i put my name forward as a volunteer a few weeks back. last week i went to the open day. today was a few training exercises and selection process. i had an interview with 2 woman. they went through my application form with me...some of the questions on the form were things like have i suffered a mental illness, have i suffered any trauma in my life, have i ever attempted suicide...i was honest and open with them. they asked me how my friends would describe me and i was able to give 4 positive answers then we had another training exercise where i was able to speak my mind. the boss woman called me out at the end and said 'louise we love to take u on as a volunteer'...i just stood and waited for the 'but..'...but none came!!! training starts in 2 weeks!!! im a little bit proud of myself :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoew Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 fantastic toaster.. that is so exciting! I applied to be a samaritans volunteer last week, but was thinking that they wouldnt want me, cos i dont function well when depressed, but that gives me hope!
